We got 6 inches. I know, I've been shoveling for the last hour. Be safe everyone!

And we got maaaaaaybeeee 3", but probably closer to 2".

Here too. Not surprised but still disappointed.

Looks like 8-10" between yesterday and today....and it's still coming down and blowing around.

Well send some of it up here! I've been promised snow all winter and yet the most we get during these "storms" is an inch or two!

XD I need a thaw our chicken run door keeps getting jammed by ice because it keeps refreezing.

Hello everyone! I currently live in Temperance Michigan and will be moving farther north soon. The fiancé has gotten a job offer in Novi and we are looking to move somewhere within 30 minutes of Novi. What I'm gathering by looking at laws is that most cities around there suck for being able to have chickens and the ones that allow it only let you have 6.

I currently have a flock of 17 and have for the last almost 4 years. I do not want to give them up by any means necessary. I have 1 Roo and I've come to terms that I able probably going to have to rehome him.

Anyone that has chickens within 30 minutes of Novi can you please tell me where you are and if that city really enforces these ridiculous laws if they have them?

I've been actively looking in Romulus, Novi, Northville, South Lyon, Southfield, Livonia, Brighton, Bellville, etc. (Some of these places allow with restrictions/permits)

Romulus has been first on my list because it seems we can get a little land and what I gather has no chicken limit but says no Roos. Correct me if you know otherwise.

Garden City, Westland, Plymouth, Taylor, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield all seem to be heartless because they don't allow any. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Also I'm finding a lot of these cities have dog limits (mostly being "No more than 3 allowed") and pitbull bans?! Absolutely ridiculous. We have 4 dogs. I'll die before I give them up. Needless to say, I imagine we wouldn't be welcome in these cities anyway and fine by me. We don't want to live there anyway.

So this is really cool! Anyone in the northern LP (Traverse City area and such) heard of this? Are you going to participate?

Hi doggo mom, sorry to hear you're having so much trouble finding a place. I think from Novi you would need to go north and west a fair bit to get into more rural country. Possibly north and/or West of Brighton

You need snow? Come on up and help yourself

Try Pinkney. It's halfway between Brighton and Chelsea. I used to live in Brighton and can imagine they have strict rules. I have a friend in Pinkney that has dogs, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, and roosters.
